ME: You coming in or what?
WATSON: Shhh!
ME: Why are you shushing me?
WATSON: Because I don’t want Bella to hear us talking. I don’t want to scare her away from coming back.
ME: Is Bella the new dog in the next yard?
WATSON: Yep! She said she was coming back.
(Pause)
WATSON: How do I make her want to come back?
ME: You can’t make her.
WATSON: What do I do?
ME: Well, you just have to try not to think about her. As soon as you stop thinking about her, that’s when she’ll appear.
WATSON: That’s crazy talk.
ME: Yeah, I don’t make the rules.
(Pause)
WATSON: Dating sucks.
ME: Sorry, mate.
